I like too many things
too many colours
I like glitter, and white, pink and neutrals
I like modern and old
Vintage and new
Romantic and minimalist
I can't choose
I like too many things
I like gold
and silver

I had to change my colour plans. My living room is decorated in white, pink, some blue and golden touches. And even though I love purple and lilac tones, they would create too much of a confusion in such a small place. So I opted for the pink and gold tones for the Christmas decorations, as they match the Ikea vase and the rest of the room colours. I have so many vintage glass ornaments, it's hard to choose the ones I want to use! I just love my collection! If you want me to show you photos of the baubles and ornaments in my collection in a specific post, please do let me know!

Join me in this work in progress, as there is still a lot to decorate... :)

Christmas decorations have started... This year, I'm making sure that I'm not leaving everything for the last minute! There are still a lot of things missing, but I'm showing you some photos of how it's beginning to look like. We chose not to have a Christmas tree, to avoid baubles and broken glass - Conchinha might get hurt. I'll decorate the rest of the house, especially the living room and the sideboard, where I'm planning on having something cute for the little ones...

I bought these ceramic cottages and I'm sure we'll all love the night lights...

Hi everyone! Hope you're enjoying your weekend - we're having a cold sunny Saturday here in Porto, and I love this weather! This weekend I'll be helping out my older daughter on her Christmas sale at school. They have to raise some money for their school travel and we'll be making some pretty Christmas packages, bake some cookies, maybe sell a few old books that she doesn't read any more... I love the holiday season, so hopefully we'll manage to make beautiful things with the stuff that we have at home.

I already started to unpacking my Christmas ornaments. I need to see how many I have, choose the colours that I'm using and loving this year, plan on what I'm decorating the sideboard with - maybe I'll use some branches to hang a few baubles... This year I'm thinking of a pink and white decor (always white) or maybe add some lilac and purple as well...
